So I’ve been listening to a lot of old school cheesy heavy metal and that has kind of pushed me to look for more recent releases. I’ve found quite a few and this year has been incredible for music in general. I’ve been compiling a list of records I really enjoyed this year that I’ll throw up on here at some point. This being said there’s 50 odd excluding the grind and power violence stuff I like but I digress.

Here are some of my favourite Heavy/NWOBHM/Speed/ Thrash metal albums that came out this year, in no particular order.

Night Viper – Exterminator (2017)

Bunker 66 – Chained Down In Dirt (2017)

Evil Invaders – Feed Me Violence (2017)

Speed Queen – Kings of the Road (2017)

Air Raid – Across The Line (2017)

DeadrideR – Reaper (2017)

Hell Fire – Free Again (2017)

Hellripper – Coagulating Darkness (2017)

Blind Haze – The Bastard (2017)
